Pubs

• The Royal on Wigan Road. Wonderful staff, brilliant food, cheap and huge portions and all HOME MADE! Poker every Monday night (National league no money). Smoker friendly too.
• The Blue Bell is a cracking pub now.Latest Landlord is one of the funniest blokes i have met in a long time, he has been there for over 3 yearsnow. This pub does good bandsand seems to cater for all ages ! check it out
• pendle witch. they have a fantastic offer on until the end of december 2007. Simply shout at the top of your lungs when at the bar ordering "FRANNY JAY!" and we promise your drinks will be even dearer.
• MOORHOUSES PENDLE WITCH IS THE PLACE TO BE. JUST DONT UPSET THE LANDLADY WHO WILL GLASS YOU AS SOON AS LOOK AT YOU!
• The wheatsheaf used to be a really good pub UP UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2004 and the landlord and lady were really nice but then something happened they got moved on the pub got redone changed its name went all posh and now its shite
• The Blue bell is a fantastic pub and the staff are lovely!x
• The Pendal Witch has the best beer in Atheron or Leigh, although the Musketeer in Leigh is also a good real ale pub. I am told that the Old Isaac serves good food. Does anyone know if it does vegitarian food?

• The Pendle Witch is the best pub in Atherton. The beer is great, the crowd in friendly. They have the best juke box, and it's the only pub that doesn't have karaoke on all weekend.
• The Glass Barrel is a pub and a music venue too ya know http://www.glassbarrel.co.uk tells you a "bit" about what's going on there
• Is there still a pub called the Kings Head off the main drag. Does it do food at night and can my 12 year ild eat in there?
• Blue Bell formerly the station remember most for its landlords. the current one is a soured face miserable bastard who serves shite beer. Red Lion - kids city, and alway wear body armour. Last Orders (Last resort) formerly the Kings head (Kings shed) - beers cheap. The Pendle Witch - if your over 4ft you cant physically get in.
• The pubs in atherton used to be chocker when the Relatively rough "venue" club was open formally known as Sidroys Restaurant, Anyway the red lion is ok, The last orders Inn (Foirmally Kings head) just down the road is full of cheap bear, Jolly nailor and Mountain Dew are 2 good pubs, a bit expensive though
• I don't have a skull which can withstand paving slabs and iron bars, so I give most Atherton pubs a miss. Riley's is a good bet though.
• Pendle Witch, Warburton Place - Moorhouses Pub with Guest Beers & occasional Beer Festivals Atherton Arms, Tyldesley Road - Large and busy Joseph Holt's pub Bay Horse, Bolton Old Road - Now serving Taylor Landlord

• Rileys can be cool - esp when drunk. Does attract kiddies at school hols tho. Get pissed and take the mick out of their feeble attempts to understand pool.
• The Atherton Arms - a top Holts pub with cheap and tasty ale. Try the award-winning mild.
• All poo! Go to leigh!
• mmmmm there seems to be a very mixed selection of pubs in atherton, i would say the most popular 2 to be the mountain dew, with karaoke at the w/ends and lots of friendly people.....makes it number 1 with the jolly nailor a close second(just opposite each other)
• Red Lion is great if you need to get your head kicked in or pick up an STD. Atherton Arms for the best and cheapest ale in town (Joseph Holts).
• Red Lion is a great place for meeting hatchet faced council slappers
